no cooperation

Teagen showed no cooperation in our photoshoot last weekend. Good thing I saved the really cute dress and I'll take her out by herself. I did manage to get a couple of them together that I am going to print pretty big for the house. I don't really care about smiles in pictures, I just wanted some that described the two of them. I think these are perfect!

sea world

Teagen endured the trip to Sea World. She actually took a short nap in the Ergo while I painfully suffered (after opting to put her in it on my chest and not on my back) and wondered why my kids won't nap in a stroller??? Either way, she actually had a really great time. She enjoyed the Shamu show and feeding the dolphins.

the swimsuit debate

Always so much chitter chatter in the 'mommy' world about what swimsuits they will/will not let their daughters wear. To each his own but this year, my babe sported an itty bitty yellow polka dot bikini and another stylish one piece with a white/black/pink motif. Ahh...I'll worry about any long term repercusions when she is old enough to actually remember what swimsuit she wore...for now, it's just too cute to pass up and people should stop making a stink out of nothing...I'm just saying! :)

little smacker

Teagen loves food. Sure, she can be picky but she loves her food. I mean, she sits back, props her feet up on her chair and just enjoys. Many times, she can be found smacking her lips after every single bit. She also savors her food. She isn't a slow eater, it's just that she enjoys every piece that goes into her mouth. She is so willing to try new things. Today she had a tomato, jicima and some red bell pepper. She liked them all. That's just her personality.

I feel slightly guilty about the above picture...really, we do have pink bowls and girly bibs, it just didn't happen that day :)

Fun in the hot, hot sun

Outside, for the most part, is our 'safe' zone. I am not sure if it's the heat, or the fresh air or the plethora of toys in our yard but whatever the reason, when we go outside, the bickering seems to subside. They play together or sometimes they just do their own thing. Teagen loves to jump on the trampoline and swing. Eli loves his sandbox and mighty machines. But, they both find common ground in having lawnmower races around the yard and playing with the water table. Of course the water table only last so long until Eli decides to splash his sister but that's a whole other blog.
